The scratches are pretty deep,
Does anyone know where I can get runners and front seats?
Swivel seats will be great !

Pre 1955, M057 would give you the cut-out bulkhead with a single post going up to the roof.
If you asked for M057 after 1955, you got wooden slats on your pick-up's load area... You must admit, it's almost the same...
If you had a bus other than a camper or a panel van and you asked for M199... you got seat belt mounting points... eish
Depending on which web site you look... Kombis would get you a swivel seat too.
But I think it would be a good idea to find out what M199 entailed. Just a saw and some swively seats, or did they actually build in some gussetts for reinforcements?

M183: Walk-through cab (Panelvan and Kombi - RHD)
Walk-thru panels did not have the vents at the top rear of the load compartment.

I'm also looking for a few for my rack. I used the ones off rod holders found in most Auto stores as a temporary fix (lasted over two years so far with kayaks on the roof for long windy trips). Was an expensve exercise at around R60 a pop - probably more now

Yes, Im happy with the outcome
I have no idea about the clear coat on flexible surfaces, Only way to know is to wait, maybe in a few weeks the paint starts breaking off

lets hope not. if so then use a paint that does not require a clear coat and then by hand buff the shine up

Was actually thinking the same thing.
Some sheetmetal parts like this one should be relatively easy to make.
